In recent years, increasing of the non-dispatchable resources has posed serious challenges to day-ahead generation scheduling of the power system. Since these resources are random in nature, the issue of flexibility to cover the uncertainty and variability of those has become an important research topic. Therefore, having flexible resources to cover changes in the generation of this resources during operation can play an important role in eliminating node imbalances, system reliability, providing the required flexible ramping reserve and reducing system operating costs. Among these flexible sources, we can mention fast-response dispatchable generation units such as gas units and combined cycle units. Therefore, in this paper, a mixed-integer two-stage and tri-level adaptive robust optimization has been used, which is solved by column-and-constraint generation decomposition-based algorithm in order to jointly clearing the energy and ramping reserve with the presence of fast response and flexible resources. The simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed model.

RTV silicone rubber offers excellent high and low temperature resistance as well as UV and weathering resistance and has a bright future in the aerospace and electronics industries. On the other hand, the thermal decomposition behavior of polymeric materials significantly affects their aging process and there are many studies on improving the specifications of nanocomposites by adding different types of nanoparticles. In this work, silicone rubber RTV nanocomposites with low content of modified nano-ZnO particles and pure RTV were compared in terms of their degradation behavior by heat and electrical stress. The coatings were prepared and the products were subjected to various experimental tests, including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The TGA results of the study suggest that the residual weight of the aged samples is higher than that of the unaged samples. The FTIR analysis results show that the aging performance of Nano-RTV is better than that of RTV, which is concluded from the smaller absorption area of the functional groups of Si-CH3 and Si-O-Si. The numeric value of Critical flashover voltage in Nano-RTV coating was higher compared to the RTV coating as a result of the enhanced electrical insulation characteristics. This can confirm the improvement of thermal aging of Nano RTV compared to pure RTV and may prove useful to estimate the expected lifetime of the coatings, which is valuable for estimating the reliability of porcelain insulators

Nowadays, increasing energy efficiency is the economical and fastest way to generate electricity in the world. Therefore, the importance of energy saving has been considered for many years in Iran, but the allocation of subsidies to energy production sector has led to the lack of a logical and specific solution to reduce energy consumption and is still one of the main challenges in Iran's economy since paying insufficient attention to energy saving in all applications. Due to the climate of Iran, the use of evaporative coolers for cooling and air conditioning is very common in summer, but installed electromotors in these coolers are one of the high-consumption equipment in peak hours which the upgrade of them can have a significant impact on reducing the peak of energy consumption in the country. From this point of view, Brushless DC (BLDC) motors, as high-efficiency electromotor type, have been investigated for evaporative cooler application.In this paper, the technology development procedure of these BLDC motors for evaporative coolers in the country is presented and at the end, the results of production of this type of electromotors by seven domestic companies and their operation these coolers are presented.

This paper contains an investigation about using electric buses alternatively in a BRT line in Tehran. In order to reach this purpose driving cycle of electric bus for different bus routes are simulated and studied. Also with the aim to choose the pilot route, several criteria such as, air and noise pollution, traffic characteristics, numbers of passengers on each route have been considered. Hence, Azadi terminal to Tehran-Pars intersection route has been selected. In addition, characteristics and specifications of proposed propulsion and energy storage system based on driving cycle simulation results of different routes in Tehran are determined.In this study, designing a storage system (battery) and main characteristics including total capacity and battery capacity based on the amount of daily activity, number of daily round trips, average energy consumption of the route and daily electrical power consumption of each bus and the battery charging and discharging ranges and total inverter and motor efficiency will be determined.

The goal of this paper is to achieve sustainable development. The most important way to achieve sustainable development is increasing the penetration rate of distributed energy resources (DER). A novel approach is presented in this paper for DER expansion planning problem considering multifarious support schemes. The intermittent nature as well as different uncertainties which are associated with the DER resources would cause investors to encounter risk in their investment decisions. Therefore, considering the supporting policies for increasing the penetration rate of DERs are known as an inevitable issue. The supporting policies for each of DERs technologies have remarkable impacts on investment strategy of other rivals. Under this condition, the system dynamics approach is employed in this paper for modelling of this multidimensional complex problem. System dynamics approach is known as an appropriate method for simulating the dynamics of power system and studying the effects of various factors on each other. Here, the supporting policies are contemplated in combined heat and power, wind turbine, PV and demand response resources. By using this method, the impacts of regulatory policies on market dynamics are modelled, which effect on market dynamics and investment policies of resource owners. Also, the robustness of achieving to sustainable development could be evaluated.

With the growth of wind power energy’s importance throughout the world, losses caused by lightning strike to off-shore wind turbines are taken into consideration more than ever due to massive costs of installation and maintenance of the wind turbines. In this study, a new method for analyzing overcurrent created by a lightning strike to the turbines body and the distribution of magnetic and electrical fields around the wind turbine’s tower is presented for two different cases of the tower with one leg, and the other case tower with three legs, using FEKO and MATLAB software. In the major part of the simulation, which is done by the comprehensive electromagnetic simulator software for analyzing magnetic and electrical fields of 3D structures called FEKO, various environmental conditions are applied and the outputs are compared on different diagrams including current, electrical fields, and magnetic fields in various environmental conditions. The results of simulations indicate that with the decrease of ground’s resistivity, the peak of magnetic and electrical fields will decrease too which can be achieved by different methods and as a result of that, the losses caused by lightning strike to the turbine decreases
